Open Source Engine Framework (MIT Licensed)
The open source version of the engine framework is licensed under MIT and includes:
- Core engine architecture

SLAM is not included in the open source release and remains available only through the Distributed Engine Binary.
With the framework now open, developers can inspect, extend, and maintain the engine as browser APIs evolve and web standards change.
